Lyrics
My God You reign over all creation
(Yes You reign)
My God You save no matter the wave
(Yes You save)
(repeat)
Heavens proclaim You are always the same
My life You changed
I'm no longer chained
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Be lifed high Baba
Be lifed high Baba
Bahari itakuwa wino
Na dunia kurasa yangu
Siwezi andika maneno
Yatoshe kusema ulivyo
Siwezi maliza maneno
Yatoshe kusema ulivyo
Heavens proclaim You're always the same
My life You changed
I'm no longer chained
My life You claimed
I'm no longer chained
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Be lifed high Baba
Be lifed high Baba
Twakuabudu leo Yesu
Twakuinua leo Yesu
Twakuinamia leo Yesu
How we worship You Jesus
How we lift You high Jesus
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Uinuliwe ewe Mungu uinuliwe
Be lifed high Baba
Be lifed high Baba

Meaning & Inspiration
Uinuliwe is a bilingual declaration that God reigns, saves, and deserves exaltation. Its English opening names divine rule over creation and deliverance in trouble, then the Swahili refrain repeatedly asks that God be lifted high. Freedom from chains and a changed life provide the personal testimony behind the praise. The image of the sea becoming ink and the world becoming pages suggests that ordinary language cannot fully describe the character of God.
The song then turns from testimony to direct worship: Jesus is adored, lifted high, and honored in submission. Psalm 96 closely matches the claim that the heavens proclaim Gods majesty, while Hebrews 13:8 supports the confession that Jesus remains the same. The language of release from chains also corresponds with the freedom Christ describes in John 8. These themes make the song both praise and worship, but its repeated acts of adoration give worship the defining emphasis. English and Swahili lines serve the same purpose throughout, joining gratitude for salvation with reverence before the unchanging God.
